Sechs Tage unter Strom - Unterwegs in Barcelona

I noticed this movie because of the nomination at locarno, and decided to see it to judge the movie myself, and when it ended, i wished it was 20 minutes longer... If i liked it that much, then why did i rate it only an 8? I guess its mainly due to the directing, im not saying its bad, but Neus sure needs experience, which i guarantee she will gain in the pass of time.

I recomend this movie to all the bored catalans out there.

Twenty years ago, when I was a student, I spent one summer working in a bar in Catalunya, where Peps and Valeros would come for their morning coffee and their evening beer. This movie feels like a documentary to me.

The writing and the acting are beyond natural. And just like in life, there are moments in this movie when you laugh, moments when you're fed up with someone or feel sorry for them, and moments when you end up a bit bored.

The languages spoken are actually Catalan, Spanish and Maroccan Arab (I suppose...).

And yes, it is about migration, tolerance, diversity, but far from cheap moralism.

It is a very funny comedy drama, even if you don't speak Catalan.

The main characters seem very human. The movie conveys a nice, subtle message about tolerating others.
